hi codecall people,
i have a serious problem with a php & JS, i have data stored in mysql databse as TEXTwhich contains new lines

i write text here

this is line 2

i get an error

anyways when i fetch the data above from the database and try to load it back into a textarea using JS, i get an error because the text is written with multi-lines like this

$('text_area_id').set("text",'<?php echo $result; ?>');

the error i get is "expected end of a string..."

does anyone know how to solve that?

have you tried

echo "$('text_area_id').set(\"text\",'".$result."?>');";

[amrosama]

yes, in the source code it appears some thing like:

$('text_area_id').set(\"text\",'i write text here
this is line 2
i get an error');

which gives the same error

ah, its javascript that doesn't allow the line breakages.
I guess you'd better load it by ajax instead then.

[amrosama]

offff!
so to get it done i have 2 choices:
1. print the HTML with php
2. ajax
right?

[Orjan]

yes, I believe so...
